    "1, 2, Freddy's coming for you..."  Some images of Jackie Earle Haley ( Rorschach from Watchmen) have finally popped up.  The first is from Myspace and the second is from IGN.
     
    Are you ready for Freddy?

    Freddy is such a killer concept for a supernatural villain. I really hope that the reboot turns out well and these pics are definitely pointing towards awesome.

    Now if they'll just take him seriously, avoid campiness and actually produce serious scares, this could be a brilliant movie. 

    If not, it will be one of many, many horror movie misfires.

    Freddy is good, but I like Jason better

    Jason: Execution
    Freddy: Torture

    That's why Jason has more kills, Freddy tortures the victims and mess with their minds, Jason does not.
     
    Jason just kills the victim and gets it over with, that's why I like him more. 

    But I prefer them than those new killers though, bunch of rip offs comming up latetly, its cool to see the originals return :D

    Ah, this should be interesting.  This series was always a lot of fun.  Unlike the Friday the 13th series, although Freddy vs Jason was a nice corny laugh.  Should be well worth the watch if they due the rest of the series justice.

    I'm glad they're being more mysterious with Freddy this time around.  They shouldn't reveal everything about him all at once; the suspense is half the scare.

    Wow, this looks creepy as hell. I love that they're only releasing shadowed images of Freddy's face for right now; Jackie Earle Haley will be AMAZING in this role! Can't wait to hear what he does to his voice to create the persona...

    There's no doubt in my mind that JEH won't do a bad job, I just wish they brought back R.Englund. It makes no sense not too.

    I do love the pics though.

    I never read anything Englund saying he didn't want to do it anymore. The only thing I've read him saying is he felt Nightmare should be remade cause of the technology that they have now and didn't have then. Saying it  will be great to exploit the dreamscapes. Also, read that he likes the casting of Haley cause of his small stature but can be threatening & very physical.

    Plus, a majority of Englund's films now a days are direct to dvd, so I don't see why he wouldn't want to do another Freddy. Since he made so much money off the franchise and with the conventions where people pay a $100 just to get his autograph.

    Deadpool is a thousand times better than Freddy.. But I don't really play favorites, I love comedy but just because Freddy is funny it don't mean I'll pick him over a awesome executioner like Jason

    I I like Jason's brutality and stealth aproach XD

    Obviously, this is completely necessary.  For serious, you guys.  If I had to look at Robert Englund one more time under heavy make up and prosthetics I was gonna barf.  But looking at Jackie Earle Haley under heavy make up and prosthetics changes everything.  Literally everything.  Like his voice.  And his... breathing style.  And other important factors to slasher films.  Here's to holding out for Johnny Depp to get eaten by ANOTHER bed.  Oh, Johnny, will you never learn?

    @King Saturn:
    as cool as Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash would be cool, it wont happen for 2 reasons:
     
    1) New Line Cinema only owns the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street properties, they have no affliation to or ownership rights to the Evil Dead franchise.

    2) Bruce Campbell said in an interview he won't reprise the role as Ash. because of the fact he's quote "Too Old" and that the series was alot of fun but he's moved on from the character.

    Sorry y'all I hate to be a buzzkill, guess that means the only way to see these 3 square off is in the comics. -Fox

    ill definately be there to see it cuz i love me some freddy, but i rather have like an origins Freddy Krueger movie. the whole movie focusing on when he was alive and kidnapping children and killing them. with the end of the movie ending with the parents burning down his hideout..
     
    that would be scary.
